Tipped as one of Kerrang's Stars of 2017, Louise Distras channels her anger, hopes and fears into anthems of love and fury for yet another let down generation.
Widely praised as the "new face of British punk-rock", her new single 'Outside Of You' tells a story of "fighting to be yourself in a world that wants you to be something you're not", says Louise. The track channels the heritage punk of The Clash and the Sex Pistols, pairing it with slick production and a decidedly modern bent.
Louise’s path from hardship to heart-felt anthems began when she ran away from home, aged 16, armed with a guitar and the few chords she knew.
Inspired by Nirvana and the punk-rock gateway the Seattle legends provided, Louise turned her back on being bullied and decided to play music for anyone who’d listen. Her unshakeable belief that “Music can change the world” underlines by her own story. It certainly changed hers. “I’m standing up for the disenfranchised kids who get picked on at school, the kids outside the box,” the Wakefield born singer says.
Following the huge critical acclaim that greeted her debut, 'Dreams from the Factory Floor', 'Outside of You' offers a small glimpse of what’s to come from her second album, expected to be released in early 2018. The second album will, “take the songs to a new level with harder hitting lyrics and harder hitting concepts.” The artistic call to arms has begun, and from humble beginnings, Louise Distras is leading from the front!
Louise will be live at MK11 on Sunday (November 5) supporting The King Blues.
